Functional Concerns That Shape Teachers' In-the-Moment Decision-Making

North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (44th, Nashville, TN, Nov 17-20, 2022)
As a field, we have a limited understanding of what teachers do, what motivates them, and how they learn (Kennedy, 2016). Here, we develop a grounded framework of inquiry-based teaching in mathematics classrooms by beginning with primary evidence of teachers teaching. We seek to articulate an evidence-based account of teachers' functional (rather than aspirational) concerns so that those who support teachers -- such as curriculum writers, professional learning specialists, coaches, and teacher educators -- can ground their support in the realities of the work of teaching. Our research question is: "What are the functional concerns that shape teachers' decision-making in-the-moments of teaching?". [For the complete proceedings, see ED630210.]
